The Austrian federal state of Tyrol, known as the 'Heart of the Alps', is located in the western part of the country between Italy, Switzerland and Southern Germany. After the First World War, Tyrol was divided into two parts. Whereas the northern and eastern part of Tyrol still belonged to Austria, the southern part was awarded to Italy in the post-war treaties and the impact of this divide still resonates in Tyrol's culture today.
The Austrian part of Tyrol is a picture-perfect region of outstanding beauty, where jagged, snow-capped peaks tower above fast-flowing rivers, green meadows and onion-domed churches. It is a paradise for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors, offering wonderful walking tours in summer. The mountains have left their mark on the region and there is still a strong sense of Tyrolean identity. The traditional dress of 'Lederhosen' and feathered hats is commonly seen and visitors will enjoy the hearty regional cuisine. Tyrol has a long tradition of hospitality, having welcomed thousands of travellers over the centuries crossing the Alps on their journeys across Europe.
